My mom really wants me to get my degree, Stallworth told the Chattanooga Times Free Press. I've talked to my mom a little bit, but I want to talk to her a little more in-depth.

Stallworth announced he was entering the draft early but changed his mind before the NFL's deadline. The NFL retrieved his paperwork, eliminating his name from the early-entry draft list.

But NCAA rules stipulate that even the intention to enter the draft results in lost eligibility. Stallworth also met with an agent and received nearly $1,300 in benefits before he changed his mind. Stallworth said he did not sign an agreement with the agent, Jimmy Sexton, and repaid him using his Pell Grant money.
